All of you non-East Coasters that kicked and screamed when we did October’s micro-tour will be happy that we set up a mini-tour just for you! 18 Show in 18 days, from Cleveland to Spokane! From May 14 to May 31! From La Jolla to Leo Carillo, and up to Pismo (sorry, we had to).

Tickets go on sale Friday, so come back here for links. As always, we will tell you right now: MOST OF THESE SHOWS WILL SELL OUT, SO PLEASE BUY YOUR TICKETS EARLY. Nowadays we tour when the stars align, so get it when it’s there to be gottened.

We’re so incredibly pumped for these shows! Support will come in the form of Dan Potthast on all shows except for the first three, where Kevin Seconds will play in his place. Also, Sycamore Smith will be on the entire damn tour! Huzzah!

After spending way too much time holding a grudge against you for subjecting us to excessive coverage of your silly little royal wedding, we’ve decided to make a move to get back on speaking terms with you, our cutely-accented counterparts across the lake. This move is in no small part due to your introducing us to the incredible Charlie Brooker, and let’s not forget your gracious and self-sacrificial harboring of Madonna, fake accent and all. So we figure the score is 2-1, and we owe you one. We’d like to pay up in the form of a concert on your continent! Namely, we’ll be coming on by to play at your lovely and awesomely-named BOOMTOWN FESTIVAL! HURRAH!
It’s been a long while since we’ve played anywhere in England, and we have no idea when we’ll be back, so how about you all meet us at BoomTown sometime around, oh, I don’t know, August 15, 2015? Sounds good? Good! Head on over to www.boomtownfair.co.uk or https://www.facebook.com/boomtownfair1 for more info and to buy tickets! IT’S TEA TIME, SON.

We made it! Six huge shows! Six awesome nights in the Northeast US and Canada. 5 Sold out shows! Much good times had! Yelling in short bursts! Word words words! So we survived our little concert run of 2014 and we’d like to once again thank you all for coming out to rock with us. Each and every night was incredible and each and every night was a reminder of how lucky we are to be able to bring our music to all of you. We’re currently planning our 2015 and hopefully we can fulfill some of the requests you’ve made of us. There are now a lot of ins and a lot of outs when it comes to playing/touring but we’re hoping to deliver in quality what we cannot deliver in quantity. So, once more, THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH. For coming out, for singing, for dancing, for enjoying the concerts with us. We hope to see you all again, and soon!

It’s a slow news day, which could mean one of one things: time for a giant merch sale! For one week, starting right now, you can buy anything in our merch store for a whole damn third off. A WHOLE THIRD (ok, technically it’s .333333etc short of a third but we’re not nerds are we?*) 33%!

Head on over to www.riscstore.com, throw anything you want into your shopping cart and use the code “FALL2014″ at checkout. Easy peasy.

Also of note: many of the designs in the store are going the way of the dinosaur (i.e. will be appearing as mechanized versions of themselves in a Michael Bay movie) as soon as they are out of stock so now is the time to get them. Unless you only wear the most recent SM swag, you hipster you. Or, wait, hipsters love the vintage stuff, don’t they… I CAN’T KEEP UP WITH THIS CRAP.

Buy stuff if you want, support the band, or don’t, and indirectly support terrorism. Your choice. DON’T EFF IT UP.

If you’re reading this - you survived 2013. To celebrate (and to clean out our inventory) we’re having a 40% off sale for the entire first week of 2014 - just use the discount code: NEWYEAR. We’ve re-stocked a lot of designs in all sizes (and some more in XXL) and we’re letting you have it all for prices so low we’re certainly going to regret this. We also have introduced the “Mystery Shirt” which is for the larger folks out there (XL/XXL) where you can get a random assortment of 3 shirts (some not even available on the store) for 12 dollars. Yes - we’ve had a lot of sales recently - but this is by far the largest and longest. This sale could beat up other sales. But it wouldn’t because it’s nice. So come enjoy our sale. Or it’ll beat something up.

(Sale runs from Jan 1st through Jan 7th)

2014.
